Catering to the Wharf’s business and leisure visitors, 3 and 15 West Lane will provider 378 studios across two buildings, launching at a time when the aparthotel sector is experiencing significant demand.
The appeal of aparthotel stays has grown significantly in the post-pandemic era, thanks to a unique blend of home-like amenities with hotel-like services. Guests at 3 and 15 West Lane can expect the same outstanding levels of service that Vertus – the residential rental arm of Canary Wharf Group – has established a reputation for across its portfolio of Build-to-Rent (BTR) buildings.
With visitor numbers to Canary Wharf at an all-time high (67.2 million people visited during 2023, a 25% increase on 2022), 3 and 15 West Lane offers a more flexible choice for those looking to stay on the Estate, providing the ideal base from which to do business or enjoy a leisure stay or a mix of both.
The studios at 3 and 15 West Lane range from 15 sqm – 32 sqm and provide a bathroom, kitchenette, sleeping area and wardrobe.
Guests also benefit from spaces including a number of lounges and terraces, bookable meeting rooms, co-working space, dining rooms, laundry rooms and a gym. Furthermore, guests can take advantage of a curate programme of events organised by a dedicated in-house team. Each event has been designed to make it easier to meet like-minded people.
With access to quality transport connections a key driver for the aparthotel market, Canary Wharf visitors are served by the Elizabeth Line, DLR and Jubilee lines, which means central London can be accessed within 15 minutes via direct services. London City Airport and Heathrow Airport can be reached via direct services in 15 and 45 minutes respectively.
Freya Richard, Director of Leasing & Operations at Vertus, said:
“The launch of 3 and 15 West Lane is the next step in the hugely exciting and ongoing evolution of the Wharf. With Vertus’ BTR portfolio fully leased up, adding Vertus Edit and a new aparthotel at 3 and 15 West Lane gives business and leisure visitors who are looking to stay on a flexible, short-term basis another choice. Benefiting from our events programme e and surrounded by green and blue spaces, some of London’s best new restaurants, incredible transportation across London and to surrounding airports, you couldn’t be better placed to experience everything that the Wharf has to offer. This latest proposition builds on the success of the residential offer at Canary Wharf, which is now home to more than 3,500 residents, and adds a short stay offering to the Vertus portfolio.”
